United Way of Yavapai County has established an account at National Bank of Arizona for the benefit of the families of the 19 Granite Mountain Hotshots killed in Sunday’s Yarnell Fire, as well as for those who have lost their homes in Yarnell.
Donations to the Yarnell Fire Fund can be made in person at any National Bank of Arizona branch, through UWYC’s website, www.unitedwayyavapai.org, or mail your check made out to “Yarnell Fire Fund” to UWYC, 634 Schemmer Drive, Suite 302, Prescott, AZ 86305.
UWYC will work with the Prescott Fire Department and the Town of Yarnell to distribute donations to the Hotshots’ families and Yarnell citizens. 95% of all donations will go directly to these victims.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the families who have lost their loved ones or homes during this horrible tragedy.
